Question

Why Italy?

Answer

Europe has always been close to my heart, and when Jake & I visited Italy together for the first time, we instantly fell in love, especially with the charming seaside town of Taormina, Sicily, where our wedding will take place. Between the breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and timeless romance, it felt like the perfect setting to celebrate this new chapter of our lives. We know a destination wedding means extra travel and planning, and we want you to know that your presence is never expected, only deeply appreciated. Whether you join us in Italy or celebrate from afar, your love and support mean the world to us. For those making the trip, we can’t wait to share this unforgettable experience with you! A weekend filled with sunshine, laughter, and la dolce vita.

Question

How do I get to Taormina / the venue from the airport?

Answer

Travel time from the airport to Taormina is approx 55 min. There are taxis readily available directly at the airport, or you can arrange a private transfer. Isabella or I can help assist you once your arrival times are finalized.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

You can, but we don't recommend it while staying in Taormina since most activities, accommodations, and shops are all in close walking proximity. The roads are also extremely tight and narrow, and street parking is only reserved for locals. There are plenty of taxis available as well.

Question

Will transportation be provided to and from the wedding?

Answer

Yes. There will be a designated pickup time and location for guests staying closer to the city center and surrounding areas to take to the wedding venue. Those details will be provided once they are finalized. We don't recommend walking even with the close proximity to the city center, since the venue is downhill and on a main road.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Welcome Dinner: Italian Chic- Effortlessly stylish yet relaxed, lightweight dresses, midi skirts, or linen sets for the ladies, and linen shirts or polos with chinos or tailored shorts for the gentlemen. Think breathable fabrics, summery colors, and comfortable shoes perfect for an evening of pizza, prosecco, and Sicilian sunsets. Wedding: We kindly ask our guests to join us in Mediterranean Formal Attire- timeless, elegant, and perfectly suited for a summer celebration overlooking the Sicilian sea. For the Ladies: Think elevated and airy floor-length dresses in light, flowy fabrics like chiffon, silk, or satin. Soft pastels, florals, or vibrant summer hues are all welcome. Dressy heels, wedges, or elegant sandals are perfect. For the Gentlemen: A lightweight suit or dress pants with a blazer in summer tones such as tan, light gray, black or navy. Pair with a crisp button-down and dress shoes or loafers. Ties and bowties are welcome. Overall Vibe: Effortlessly elegant, warm, and romantic. Please avoid jeans, casual sundresses, the color white, or flip-flops. (Please note: it can get a bit chilly at night but I expect everyone to be dancing the night away... so I wouldn't worry about that too much!!) Recovery Party: Coastal Casual- swimsuits, linen, and sunnies encouraged for a relaxed day by the sea.

Question

Can I bring a plus one or children?

Answer

We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend our celebration. Due to limited space, we are unable to accommodate additional guests or children. We hope you understand and appreciate your help in making this an intimate memorable celebration. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Question

Can I bring my own food or drinks?

Answer

On Wedding Day: We kindly ask that no outside food or drinks be brought to the venue. A curated selection of food and open bar including a wide variety of wine, cocktails, and beer will be provided for all guests to enjoy throughout the celebration. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Question

How will I receive updates during the trip?

Answer

We’ll send all event updates, including shuttle details, timing, and activity info directly to you via text with zola messages, via the group chat on WhatsApp, and we will also post them here on the website as they’re finalized.

Question

What currency is used in Italy?

Answer

Italy uses the Euro (€). We recommend bringing a small amount of cash for taxis, gratuities, and cafés, though most places accept cards.
